Does this 1080p stuff have something to do with why movie files have gone from being 700 megs, to over 1 gig?
Kind of Barcon, a lot of stuff is scene (private groups with strict rules, who hide on private ftp servers).
Rule is 2h movie should be 2 disk, 2 x 700MB and less can be one, however nowadays lots of p2p groups release stuff with no such rules and generally think higher filesize = better pic quality.
This is not always the case but yeah due to them you see a lot of large file sizes.
That is just standard definition.
HD has more detail and needs the larger file size, for example DVDRip of wreck it ralph goes to 1 x 700MB but the 720p will demand 2GB +.

The.Twilight.Saga.Breaking.Dawn.Part.2.2012.NTSC.DVDR-AN0NYM0US - 4.44GB (1 x DVD5)
